Robert Alan Wickham, a 39-year-old Tulsa man, has been sentenced for strangling his girlfriend in their home. The assault occurred in June 2025, after Wickham’s girlfriend was subpoenaed to testify in a court proceeding about the abuse she suffered at his hands. Despite a no-contact order in place, Wickham attacked and strangled his girlfriend again, prompting a response from Muscogee Creek Nation Lighthorse Police officers.
Wickham’s history of domestic abuse spans nearly 20 years, with four prior domestic violence convictions. His latest conviction has resulted in a 46-month prison sentence, followed by three years of supervised release. Wickham, a citizen of the Navajo Tribe, will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
The FBI and Muscogee Creek Nation Lighthorse Police Department investigated the case, which was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Stacey Todd. The sentencing serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing domestic violence and providing support to survivors. For those who may be in an abusive relationship, resources are available through Domestic Violence Intervention Services.
Wickham’s case highlights the need for continued efforts to prevent domestic violence and hold perpetrators accountable. The U.S. Attorney’s office and law enforcement agencies are committed to investigating and prosecuting these crimes, and providing support to victims and their families.
